Jeremy Urquhart is a writer at Collider who focuses on the Godzilla series, the films of Martin Scorsese, and anything in the action genre.
Here’s a little secret that some people might not want you to know: it’s okay to be completely baffled by arthouse movies sometimes. These sorts of films aim to provoke, bewilder, and sometimes overwhelm. Not all do that to the extent where things are impossible to get one’s head around, but some indulge in strangeness more than others, and it’s not the worst thing in the world to enter into an arthouse movie accepting of the fact you might exit said movie with more questions than answers.
However, he’s not the only one who could be harboring something dark or mysterious within himself, as the protagonist of the film also shows himself to be relatively troubled. Burningfocuses on this trio of characters as they slowly reveal things about themselves, perhaps truthfully, or perhaps deceitfully.
L’Avventura is long and intentionally slow, focusing on a search for a missing woman, and how, during this woman’s disappearance, her partner and her friend – while both looking for her – strike up a romance between the two of them. Guilt, confusion, and uncertainty naturally follow this whole situation unfolding, with tension coming both from the fact it centers on a difficult search for a missing person, and because of the relationship that develops in the missing woman’s absence.
In the end, there are certain mysteries that get uncovered and somewhat explained, but the lead character also makes unexpected discoveries about himself, with Solaris also exploring how he’s impacted by the whole thing. It’s all very psychological, methodically paced, and ultimately intoxicating, so long as – once again – viewers are okay with watching something quite long and slow.
